IMPROVEMENT IN MAGAZINE-GUNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 84,685, dated December 8, 1868.

volving Magazine for Fire-Arms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section on the plane of the line a: a: in Fig. 4. Fig. 2 shows the position of the spiral thread or par ti tion within the tube. Fig. 3 shows the fluted shaft D in Fig. 1'; Fig. 4, a transverse vertical section on the plane of y y in Fig. 1, showing an end View of the tube A, thread B, and fluted shaft D; also, the cartridges in position.

The nature of my invention consists in a novel arrangement of parts to constitute a revol vin g magazine for fire-arms, whereby I pro- ,duce a simple and eificient device to secure great compactness and an easy motion of the cartridge toward the lock. v

The combination of the fluted shaft D, .which contains one or more flutes, with. the fixed spiral thread or partition B, substantially as specified.
